Really, 09272980635, I won Php560,00?
Got this text around 7AM this morning. It goes:
Congrts ur simcrd # Won P560,000, n our 2nd Anv,Fre,Rafle Drw last April, 16-07 frm:Millionaires Club Inc.4 mor info &dtails call me nw!Im SEC, EDGAR LEDESMA.
It’s so easy to fall for these scams, if you’re very gullible.
Point #1: I never joined any text contests before, moreso recently. Randomly selected? Well, there is a possibility. But …
Point #2: there is no DTI number contained in the text message. Promos, such as a raffle draw, would require getting a permit from the DTI. That I should know. How long have I been in advertising not to?
Point #3: Why should I call this Edgar Ledesma guy? If it were a legit promo, he would have called me, not the other way around.
Point #4: To pose as a legit company with a legit promo, you should not text in text lingo. No shortcuts of words. Another dead giveaway.
All in all, Edgar Ledesma, with cellphone number 09272980635, is a scammer. Beware.
